“The biology attitude scale is a 22-item instrument that is designed to measure students’ attitudes toward biology; in particular, it is designed to measure their feelings of like or dislike about biology. Fourteen of the items use a Likert-type scale (five-point agree-disagree scale) and eight items use a semantic differential scale (five-point bipolar adjective scale). The instrument was developed on the assumption that an important consequence of instruction is a change in the student’s attitude toward the subject, and the authors argue the importance of focusing on attitudes by stating that there usually exists a positive correlation between attitudes and achievement. The authors state that the instrument is not intended to measure absolute attitudes toward biology; rather, it is designed to detect and measure changes in attitude generally from the beginning and end of a course. “
